What is a Medical ICETAG?
A Medical ICETAG is a bracelet that is engraved on one side with the caduceus symbol. The caduceus also known as the Star of Life consists of the snake & staff symbol. It immediately alerts first responders and medical personnel to the fact that you have a medical condition that they need to be aware of when providing treatment.
The inner side of the ICETAG is engraved with your name, your emergency contacts, your medical conditions, treatment instructions, any prescribed chronic medication and allergies.
